Yet another tutorial from The Nightmare Before Christmas Dessert Bar coming your way!
This time, we're making cupcakes to honor the unofficial mascot of Halloween-at-Christmas celebrations, Jack Skellington.
He's the wiley, undead skelleton at the heart of the movie. And he has a big, round head that's perfect for us to re-create in fondant medallion cupcake toppers.
What do you need? Some white fondant (you could make it, or just buy it like I did), a circle cookie cutter (about the size of a cupcake) and a black edible ink pen.

Here it is, the first tutorial from our The Nightmare Before Christmas Dessert Bar!
Remember Oogie Boogie? The busting-at-the-seams bad guy from The Nightmare Before Christmas who kidnaps Santa? He looks like a cross between a burlap sack and a voodoo doll. His character is always busting his stitches and dripping out the bugs and worms inside.
So I figured Oogie Boogie was a natural fit for serving up a plate of gummy worms and sour cherry gummies. It's easy, just grab a brown paper bag from the grocery store (it's best if at least one side is blank and not printed), some thick black or brown yarn, scissors, a paper hole punch and a safety pin.
First, cut the brown bag in half, keeping the bottom half of the bag.

I have this theory. You want to hear it?
I think that the only way to make a great thing better is to have it when you're not supposed to. Like cupcakes for breakfast. Or Christmas in July.
But you know what?
